Y Specification of Letters Patent Patented oet. 1o, 1916.

Appncation med July 12, 191e. serial No. 108,953.

To all @07mm t may concern Be it known that we, EVERETT C. KLINE and CARL H. PnrnnuANN, both citizens of the United States, and both residing at Norwood, in the county of Hamilton and State of Chio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sales Exhibit Devices, of which the following is a specication.

Y Our invention relates to devices adapted to aid the salesmen of safes, deposit vaults and similar receptacles.

The object of the. invention is to provide means whereby the interior arrangement of such receptacles in various combinations may be quickly and graphically illustrated without the necessity of printing and making use of a large number ofseparate illustrations each of which would show a separate interior arrangement. Accordingly, we provide printed blank diagrams of dilferent sizes of safes or other receptacles for filing outfits, including bank deposit vaults and deposit systems and vaults for use in offices. The salesman is provided with such a set of blank diagrams and in addition a set of printed or formed units representing interior fixtures for the safes or receptacles, these preferably having adhesive on the backs thereof, so that they may be pasted upon the diagrams showing the interior arrangements of the various receptacles. The units are such shapes and sizes that the same may be tted within a diagram of a safe or the like in various combinations, to illustrate various arrangements of fixtures which may be provided with each safe or other receptacle. rllhe units or stickers may be carried by a salesman, and suitably arranged in a small case provided for the purpose, and selected ones arranged upon the diagram of a desired safe, to illustrate to a customer various possibilities for utilizing the space within the safe or receptacle.

By this means the necessity of printing and carrying large numbers of separate illustrations is done away with.

In order that our invention may be more clearly understood, attention is hereby directed to the accompanying drawings forming part of this application and illustrating certain embodiments of our invention.

In the drawings Figure l represents a printed diagram showing the interior arrangement of a safe or the like, and Fig. 2 represents the same diagram, with a number of units mounted upon the same to illustrate pnearrangement of interior fixtures there- Referring to the drawings the diagram l represents a safe orf' other receptacle, the outline or diagram of the interior of which is illustrated at 2. As stated, a sales agent may be provided with a number of diagrams, such as the above, all printed or formed to the same scale, and representing various sizes and varieties of safes or other receptacles. The style and dimensions of the receptacle .may be printed on or adjacent to the diagram in each instance. The salesman is also provided with a set or sets of units representing interior ixtures, adapted to be fitted within the diagram 2 in various combinations. rIhese units may represent drawers, such as are illustrated at 3, or deposit boxes or receptacles, as shown at 4, or receptacles or spaces to hold books or the like, as shown at 5. riihe units are preferably formed of paper cut to the desired shape, each of which may have printed thereon its dimensions and designation. Each of the units is preferably provided with adhesive on the back thereof, as is shown at 6 in the case of the unit 7 The effectiveness and economy of the devices described are obvious.

Our invention is intended for use chiefly in connection with safes or vaults, but it is obvious that it is equally applicable for use in connection with various forms of receptacles for deposit and filing purposes.

Having now particularly described our invention, what we claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent is as follows 1. A sales exhibit device comprising a sheet having printed thereon the outline of a safe or the like, showing the interior conformation thereof to scale, and a set of units of various sizes, representing interior fixtures therefor, adapted to be. arranged within the interior diagram of the safe inY various combinations, to illustrate various arrangements of Xtures within the safe, said units comprising sheets having adhesive on one side thereof and being formed to the same scale as the outline of the safe, substantially as set forth.

2. Sales exhibit devices comprising a set of sheets each having printed thereon a diagram showing the interior conformation of a receptacle, said diagrams being formed to scale to represent receptacles of different adapted to adhere When properly positioned sizes, and a set of units of Various sizes, relative to each other, substantially as Set representing interior fixtures forthe said forth. i i l 'V i receptacles,` adziptedto be arranged'witln This speciication signed and witnessed 5 the interior diagrams of the receptacles in this day of July,1916.
